Wii U Mini-Map Sneak Peek!

The H.S.A. is hard at work outfitting our Wii U Jumpers with the latest in Hive-Scanning technology. While we can’t show the imagery on the device for bureaucratic reasons, we can show you a rendering of what a hive relic room looks like on the mini-map.

This makes navigating Relic Rooms a breeze!

Jumpers will be able to see the insignias of their team-mates, the layout of the level geometry, as well as the locations of doors and hazards! Use this technology to your advantage and save the galaxy from the bugs!

Leave us a review on Steam!

We have over 100 reviews on Steam with a Very Positive rating! Hooray!

We made something awesome together Jumpers! <3

Kickstarter Spotlight: SmuggleCraft!

This month we’re thrilled to spotlight another St. Louis game development studio and their amazing indie game which just came to Kickstarter!

Are you ready to embark on dangerous missions smuggling contraband in your customizable hovercraft racer!?! I know I am! Jumpers, what are you waiting for? Back this amazing game! (for Steam and PS4)

I’ve been privileged to watch this game grow and develop over the past few years, and I’ve got to tell you they’re a lot further along with the game than we were when we started Hive Jump. They’re looking for a small goal amount to polish up the game before launch, and are offering some sweet swag and rewards for backers willing to jump onboard!

Would you like to know more?
